Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
Dutch term or phrase: BRN
This abbreviation appears in a company description, which specifies the name of the company (in this case a bank), its "Pers.nr" (which should be "persoonsnummer"), its "stamnr." ("stamnummer"), and its **BRN**.

The "BRN" item is followed by a five-digit number. Could anyone tell me what it stands for??

Hi Dave, I wasn't referring to BIC codes, but to the BFIC number. (Banking, Finance and Insurance Committee)

On reflection, and reminded by titi, it is probably
Bank RelatieNummer
- i.e. Bank client no. for an identifier separate from the account number
Thnks for the wise coment Titi!

Think I'd plump for BedrijfsRegisterNummer or BedrijfsRegistratieNummer = Company registration number

neutral  TTW-Co.Ltd: een postgironummer met 5 cijfers is ontzettend oud of een speciaal nummer voor inzamelacties e.d. Ik heb hier grote twijfels maar ook geen betere oplossing.
4 hrs
  -> Agreed - must be bank registration number - see notes added (:-{)>
agree  Pierre Grabowski: yep. BRN in HR = Bankrekeningnummer or bank account number. But 5 digits???
16 hrs
  -> Thanks, Pierre. (:-{)> I think it is company or bank registration number with the 5 figures.
